Lyrikal
139 releases
Lyrikal is a Trinidad-born soca artist whose name has become closely linked with the modern Carnival sound: high-energy, melody-driven, and built for the road. Born Devon Martin, he first built his following in New York, where he spent years promoting soca in the city’s Caribbean communities and developing the cross-border audience that later helped define his career. That early diaspora foundation still shapes the way he moves between Trinidad, New York, and the wider Caribbean scene.
Read the full profile
What sets Lyrikal apart is his ability to keep soca rooted in party music while still giving it a clean, contemporary edge. His songs often lean on sharp hooks, confident writing, and a polished delivery that makes them easy to sing back in a fete or hear beyond Carnival season. he has become known not just as a performer, but as one of the genre’s steady ambassadors abroad, helping soca travel into spaces where it was once less visible.
His catalogue reflects that reach. Songs like Rukshun helped reinforce his place in the Carnival lane, while newer releases such as Hotspot show that he is still active in shaping the current sound. He has also continued to work with producers and artists across the region, widening his audience through collaborations that keep his music in circulation year after year. On the site, releases such as Craziest Soca Soca Mix and Come Wine Riddim fit naturally into that world, where Lyrikal’s presence suits the energy, rhythm, and movement that drive soca forward.
In recent years, Lyrikal’s profile has expanded beyond the usual soca circuit. His Times Square performance in New York marked a symbolic full-circle moment, and his visibility has only grown through new music, touring, and brand partnerships. Through it all, he has remained tied to the same core identity: a soca artist with diaspora roots, a strong stage presence, and a catalogue built for celebration, travel, and the long life of Carnival music.
